Revelations

I love my family.

Psalm 39:4-7a

"Show me, O LORD, my life's end and the number of my days; let me know how fleeting is my life. You have made my days a mere hand breadth; the span of my years is as nothing before you. Each man's life is but a breath. *Selah* Man is a mere phantom as he goes to and fro: He bustles about, but only in vain; he heaps  up wealth, not knowing who will get it. But now, Lord, what do I look for?"

I read this passage tonight and could totally identify with David. It is sad to think that we aren't meant for a life apart from God and living here on earth is frustrating sometimes. Just as it sounds like David has lost hope in the world he says...

Psalm 39:7b-12

"My hope is in you. Save me from all my transgressions; do not make me the scorn of fools. I was silent; I would not open my mouth, for you are the one who has done this....Hear my prayer, O LORD, listen to my cry for help; be not deaf to my weeping. For I dwell with you as an alien, a stranger, as all my fathers were."

We have hope in Him. The One who created us. 

Do you ever think about what your life would look like if you didn't care about what other people thought? What about if you didn't give into or let fear influence you? What then? I'd bet it would look very different.
